Information and Websites
Offices of the T&T tourist board, TIDCO (Tourism and Industrial Development Company of Trinidad and Tobago, ), located in the US, Canada, UK and T&T, send out information packs on request, which include useful accommodation and calendar of events booklets, as well as glossy promotional pamphlets and sometimes a road map. On the islands their information booths at Crown Point and Piarco airports have friendly, helpful staff. Tobago's main tourist advice centre is at the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) in Scarborough (tel 868/639-2125 or 4636, tourbago@tstt.net.tt ). With some of the best writers of the Caribbean, the local media are an excellent introduction to T&T. The main newspapers include the broadsheet, Trinidad Guardian ( ), the tabloid Express ( ) and Newsday ( ); Tobago boasts only one paper, Tobago News , published on Fridays. Though the islands have two terrestrial TV stations - the main local news slot is at 7pm on TV6 - cable TV is predominant. Radio is hugely popular, with the best stations for conemporary local music being Yes FM, POWER 102, The Vibe (Comedy Tempo) and WE FM .
